In the recent Rajya Sabha elections in Karnataka, the ruling Congress secured three seats while the BJP gained one.
The elected representatives to the Upper House include Ajay Maken, G C Chandrasekhar, and Syed Naseer Hussain from the Congress, along with Narayansa K Bhandage from the BJP.
Among the five candidates vying for the four seats, JD(S) nominee D Kupendra Reddy was also in the running.
Cross-voting was evident during the elections, with one BJP MLA, S T Somashekar, voting for Congress’s Maken, while another, A Shivaram Hebbar, abstained.
